Answer 2

`(21)/(40)`

Explanation:

Convert the decimal number to a fraction by placing the decimal number over a power of ten. Since there are 3 numbers to the right of the decimal point, we will place the decimal number over

`10^3(1000)`. Then we will add the whole number to the left of the decimal...

`0(525)/(1000)`

Convert to an improper fraction....

`(525)/(1000)`

Cancel the common factor of 525 which is 25 so we will factor this out of 525.

`(25(21))/(1000)`

`(25 * 21)/(25 * 40) > (21)/(40)`
